Now one of Silicon Valley’s star legal firms, Fenwick & West, is posting a set of legal documents to GitHub that startups can use when lining up their first stage of venture funding. The 30 pages of “Series Seed” documents have been available in open source form for several years, but these days it only makes sense to share them on GitHub, which has become a standard tool for Silicon Valley startups, says Ted Wang, the Fenwick & West partner who released the docs.

“All my clients use GitHub,” says Wang (his firm also happens to be GitHub’s legal counsel). “My clients, when they’re interviewing engineers, they’re reviewing stuff on GitHub. And GitHub, to me, seems to be replacing the resumes used for engineers.”

Wang first released the documents — which spell out the structure of the company and its agreements with early stage investors — back in 2010, hoping that they would help speed up the seed funding process for new companies.

Founded in 2007 as an easier way to manage open-source software projects, GitHub has lately become ground zero for all sorts of collaborative activity. Some users have imported graphic novels, 3D printer designs, or even codes of law into the website. Others have even used its issue tracking features to manage their lives.
